Total Points: 100
Go to http://online.mylearningcommunity.us/ow/ and create an account (10 points). You can optionally login with your Facebook account if you have one. This is a closed social networking site on my web server. Some information is available to the public but they cannot participate or comment on the site. The video talks about Orkut but we will use this site instead. The concepts are the same but this is a more controlled environment.
When I validate your account, you will see a WEB label show up on your avatar. I will also send you an email when I validate your account.
Go to your profile and upload an avatar (picture representing you…does not have to be an actual picture of you) (5 points).
Post a short description about you beneath your avatar and press the submit button (5 points). Remember that this information is public.
Go to the member screen and make me your friend (5 points). Whoever has a WEB tag has been confirmed as a student or previous student in this class. You can chat with your friends whenever they are online.
Post on the wall something you think the class will find interesting (5 points). Remember again, these are public comments.
Go to https://twitter.com/ and create an account (10 points). This account will be used for class work only so do not use an existing Twitter account. Create another Twitter account for class if you already use Twitter.
Update your profile picture (5 points) and bio (5 points).
Follow me. My Twitter name is johnnyjarrell (5 points).
Follow others: at least 10 other people (5 points), at least 20 other people (10 points).
Gain followers: at least 10 followers (5 points), at least 20 followers (10 points), at least 30 followers (15 points).
Go to http://klout.com/home and create an account with your new Twitter account (10 points).
Post links to your Twitter page and your Klout score in the Blackboard discussion area called “Twitter and Klout links” (10 points). Your links will look identical to mine except for the username. The Klout score may take 24 hours to appear because the site is updated nightly. Make sure the link is active so when someone clicks on the link they are taken to the page. Watch the video below if you do not know how to make an active link in a Blackboard posting. Make sure to select the option to open the link in a new page.
